RE: 2017 NCHCFA Annual Awards
It’s time once again for the NCHCFA Annual Awards! A nomination form is enclosed with this memorandum. This time honored event provides the opportunity to acknowledge front line unlicensed personnel who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in the long term care profession. The Annual Awards program honors individuals who are the backbone in our facilities because of the care they provide to residents. A panel of judges from the Education and Programs Committee will select a Nurse Aide winner from each of NCHCFA’s five districts. In addition, one recipient in a non-nursing discipline will receive the “Riley W. Clapp Outstanding Service” award. Each of the award recipients will be honored at the Annual Awards Gala during the Annual Convention & Expo on Tuesday, February 28, 2017 in Greensboro, NC.
You will be notified by phone if a nominee from your facility is chosen to receive one of the NCHCFA Annual Awards. The recipient will be invited to attend all events held on Tuesday, February 28th for “Package Two” attendees at the Annual Convention & Expo. Each recipient will be able to invite up to 7 guests. It is important that at least one facility representative attend the dinner with the honoree. If an employee is selected, you will be asked to submit several photographs for use in a special awards presentation. Nominees must not be a previous award winner, and have at least five years of experience in the long term care profession. Please submit only one staff member per discipline.
